I CYLINDER 'FOR MAGAFZONI-"IVIACHINES.

Patented Jan. 22, 1907...

To all whom it may concern.-

' Be it known that I, NICOLA DAoos'rnvo, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the countyof Cook and; State of Illi:

, jects of my invention are, first, to provide an 1101s, have invented a new and useful Cylinder for Macaroni-Machines,- of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates toimprovementsin the construction of the discharging end of the cylinder, the die or forming-plate, which is secured to the cylinder, and the manner of securing the die to the cylinder; and the obenlarged discharging end on the cylinder whereby the amount'of pressure required to .force the piston is decreased and the output of the machine is increased, and, second, to'

provide means whereby the dies can readily e changed. I attain these objects'by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- I Figure 1 is a vertical section of a cylinder embod g my invention, Fig. 2 an inverted plan 0 the same, and Fig, 3 an elevation of the lower end'of the cylinder. Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views. The greater portion of the cylinder 5 is of uniform size to accommodate the moving piston 6, which is secured to the end of the piston-rod 7 and operated by any of the wellknown devices. T

In the drawings I have shown a cylinder which has its dischargin end at the bottom, and the lowerend of t e cylinder 5 is enlarged, as at 8, to accommodate-a die 9 of greater surface area than the endof the piston 6-.

While I at present prefer to make-this flaxing enlarged ;end 8 integral with the c linder 5 ,f1t may be a separate portion bolte to'the cylinder; Heretofore the diesused in cylinders of this class were of sub'stantiallyithe same area as the piston 6, and the stiflness of the macaronidough made it'necessary to use considerable force to ress the dou h through the die. Besides, t eoutput of t finished macaroni was a great deal less than is possible with my invention. I l I f A'sfaras I knowI am the'first to use a macaroni formin die of greater area than-the piston, and I t erefore lay claim to such a construction broadly.

The die 9 shown in the I drawings is for within said cylinder.

' area ofsaid cylinder. 4. In a macaroni-press, a small cylinder,.a I05 piston fitted to. move in said chamber, a large a A recess .10 is formed in thelower end 8 of 6c its proper place in the recess 10 and to resist;

' the cylinder 5, into which fits the edgeof the die 9, and a-clamping-ring 11 is secured'by; bolts 12 to the cylinder 5 to hold the die 9 the ressure exerted against it by the action- 5 of t e piston 6 while the throng the die 9.,

macaroni is forced;

The ring 1-1 may be secured in" anyordi-e nary way; but for the pur f convem a ience and speed in changin the dies I prefer to employ two 'or more bo ts 12 pivoted at one'e'nd, as at'13, to the cylinder 5. and'exj tending-down throughslots 14 in the earsor' lugs 15 on the ring 1 1.

When it is desired toremove thegdie 9, the nuts 16 on the bolts 12 are turned loose and the bolts 12 turned u ontheir pivots 13mm of engagement with t e ring .1] allowing the same to be turned about one of the bolts 12.

While I have shownthe die!) in the draw.- ings as bein onlyslightl 8 reater in area-than the end of t e lston 6, esire to have'itnns;

derstoodthat its area could be a eat many. times the area of the endlof the plstond'an'd still come within the scope of my inventionifi,

Having thus full described my invention, l what I claim, and esire to secure Patent of the United States, i

1. A macaroni-cylinder provided with. a

.flat perforated forming-die, the perforated area of which is materlally greater than the? cross-sectional area of said cylinder, i

2. A macaroni-c linderprovidedwithfi flat perforated die throu h which the maca-j roni is delivered, the perI I die being materially greater than the piston materiallyxg'reatcr than the cross-sectional chamber provided with an exit, and a perforated forming-die secured in the extreme delivery end of said exit; the perforated area of said-die being materially greater than said piston.

orated area of said said cylinder and a perforated forming-die se- 1 0e ITO 5. A macaroni-cylinder provided with a perforated forming-die, the combined crossseetional area of said erforations being materially greater than t e cross-sectional area of said cylinder.

6. A macaroni-cylinder provided with a perforated die through which the macaroni is delivered, .the combined cross-sectional area of said perforation being materially greater than the piston Within saidcylinden 7 In a macaroni-press, a cylinder, a piston fitted in said cylinder, an enlarged mouth on said cylinder and a die provided With a plurality of perforations secured in said mouth; the combined cross-sectional area of said perforations being materially greater than the cross-sectional area of'said cylinder.

secured in said exit; the combinedcross-Secti'onal area of said perforations being materially greater than said piston.

' In testimony whereof I have signed my 2 5 name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses, this 21st day of November, 1903, at Chicago, Illinois".
